[edit] Song information
The song was written by Deck and Christian Loigerot, and the music was composed by T.Geoffroy, who had worked on many songs from the album Au Nom d'une Femme. The second track, "Mes Rêves disaient la vérité", is a unreleased song composed by Michel Jourdan and N.Kaniel. "Tu vas me quitter" deals about a loving break in which the narrator admits to have anticipated the end of this relation and to be unhappy because of this.
The song is also available on the live album En concert à l'Olympia, but in Spanish-language, under the title "Me vas a dejar". Lyrics in this version were written by the French singer and songwriter Nilda Fernandez. "Tu vas me quitter" also features on Ségara's greatest hits album Le Best of.
